Huntsville, Alabama (December 15,
2008)The Fraternal Order of Police T.L. Blakemore
Lodge # 6, WAY-FM Christian Radio Station, and Wal-Mart, 2200 Sparkman Drive,
have teamed up to help out a group of local families for Christmas. The event
is called Christmas Prayers with a Cop and will take place at Wal-Mart on
Sparkman Drive Thursday, December 18, at 10:30 a.m. The Fraternal Order of
Police began the program to identify and assist some families in the area whose
children may be without a Christmas due to financial hardships. The immediate
concern was how to locate and identify those families in need. The Lodge then
partnered with WAY-FM because they had a program called Christmas Prayers that
could find those families. Money is donated by the Fraternal Order of Police
and gift cards are purchased from Wal-Mart. The selected families will meet
local law enforcement officers at Wal-Mart to receive their gifts. The program
has been in place for 6 years and continues to grow.
